Nokia Lumia 820 and 920 Windows Phone 8 renders leaked?

Renders of both the Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 have been leaked by EvLeaks. If these images are accurate, then we can at least expect what's about to be announced by Nokia.

Samsung has already unveiled its ATIV S Apollo Windows Phone, we've yet to see anything official from HTC or other OEMs, and there seems to be more interest in what the Finnish manufacturer can come up with to top its already established Lumia line of Windows Phone 7.5 devices.

According to the tweet, the Lumia 920 (see above) sports a sizeable 4.5" display with PureView technology. This could well be the device we believe to have recorded the short Nokia film. Then again, while it looks like a Lumia 800/900 (certainly not a bad thing), we can't help but wonder if the camera on the rear of the device is too small for the PureView technology? It almost looks too much like a Lumia 900.

The Lumia 820 in its apparent glossy glory

The Lumia 820 (see above) is the mid-range Windows Phone, packing a 4.3" display (everything's gone large!) but no PureView technology, according to the accompanied tweet. This device may look familiar and rightly so as we've previously covered the above design being leaked. It was only yesterday that we last looked at apparent Nokia "Arrow" images.

We'll be finding out more at Nokia's event next week, which Windows Phone Central will be attending. Because we're still unsure as to what we should be expecting, it's starting to become rather exciting - especially since Nokia welcomed back Samsung to Windows Phone but noted that their presentation was just a warm up for something larger.

So there you have it folks, what do you make of the renders? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts.

I agree with you. I wanted a new design for the Lumia 900 successor. Especially considering that it is just an n8/n9 design. Thought I guess we won't have to wait long to find out. Only a few more days.

@residing I'll take that wager. Nokia better have something better than this to compete with Samsung. Since everybody knows Samsung will be heavily supporting W8 now. The Nokia has a smaller screen. It better have a removable battery and micro sd slot. Don't say screen size isn't important either. Maybe to a few people but 10 million people bought a 5.3 inch galaxy note. So the average person wants a LARGE screen.

As much as I love WP and Nokia, I think Nokia just proved that ramping up WP sales quickly is not likely to happen. With the offering and effort they put in, they did not get near the traction you might hope for, and I'm not sure what Samsung would do to improve on that to such a degree that they can substantially best Nokia's results. If Samsung paid attention, they know that WP is not going to replace much of their Android revenue in the short term - if that really is where they're headed. Definitely a marathon, not a 100m dash.

If that unveiling of the Ativ is any kind of guage of their interest then I say they still arent interested in WP. The presenter looked absolutely bored to death and like he woul drather be holding anything else but the Ativ. And 90 seconds to introduce it. WOW they are really excited.

PayPal works. 10 million is probably more than the whole Lumia line combined. A small minority of people like Nokia. Everyone knows Samsung makes the best TV's. When the average person goes into a retail store most think Samsung is the top dog. When you have the W8 Samsung side by side with a GSIII the consumer can choose strictly on the OS and not hardware. This is where the W8 will destroy the competition. Nokia just hasn't shown anything yet that's on the Samsung level. Oh that was 10 million was the note. I lost count on how many GSIII's were sold.

Really, really happy that they went for that curved screen (if these are real). It makes hue difference to the feel of the phone on Lumia 800 and N9.
Lumia 900 did not feel as high end and weird because of the rised flat screen.

I like the looks. One thing I do wish Nokia would change is the placement of the power button. I use a cradle a lot while driving and it covers the button. Put it on top or the side at the top.
Still very excited to see what Nokia is going to bring us.

What is it with all these OEMs....Why do they keep dumping huge phones on to us. I mean...I get it. People like big slabs in their hands and pockets. But it's a "smart"phone. Can't it be a "smart" design as well? Why can't we get 4-4.3" phones that are just as good (specs) as these huge ones. Especially the Lumia range as the polyC adds a fair bit of chunk to the phone. I bought a 900 but had to return it as the Focus S was much more comfortable in my hands and also while carrying it around. While there is no comparison as to which device is better overall, Samsung's cheap materials do make it lighter.
Oh well, I can only hope that Nokia hits it out of the park and covers all user bases.

+1
I do NOT want a mammoth device on my hands. 4.3 is the perfect size for me and anything bigger is too big. 4.5"-5" screens shouldn't be the flagship of every OEM, and if it is they should at least offer a similar high-end device for those who don't want something that big. It bothers the heck out of me that OEMs think that this is what EVERYONE wants.

Its amazing how people will never be satisfied with some companies (like Microsoft, Nokia)... Don't know what they expect from them... Samsung releases shit android phones and no one complains, but Nokia may release one hell of an awesome device and they'll still find one or the other thing to complain!! Take the Lumia 920 for example... First they said they wanted Lumia 800 design, and now they're complaining Nokia didn't come up with a new design... Then they said they wanted PureView, and now when Nokia is giving them 'PureView Lite', they're complaining that they want the full-fledged 41 MP PW... Hell, they're even crying that the phone must be waterproof... Damn!! What else do you people want?? Nuclear proof?? 5 mm thick phone?? Get a life people!!

I'd be VERY surprised if they didn't use the Pureview trademark in a new handset on Sept 5th. Yes it won't be 40+ mp but the buzz created by the Symbian offering in the 808, was precious good PR for our favourite 'burning platform' and they'd be mad to forget it on Sept 5th.
In reality, the 808 was really only ever a technology demonstrator-and was never released to act as a direct competetor to the Lumia flagship line. I dont doubt that sensors of that size and more will come in time but the name Pureview alone will ship these phones FAST. My point? they'll ship '920's a heck of alot faster with 'Pureview' TM on the box than without....

4.5 IS a big screen, remember it is still a phone after all... I still shudder when i see people snapping away with their iPads, it looks RIDICULOUS. Plus, with the majority of users uploading or syncing their cherished pics immediately to view on traditional screens/monitors (yeah there are still folks out there like me doing that..) then where's the problem? you're not going to want to spend hours editing your snaps on your teeny tiny phone right? i mean if you want to have any sort of life...

PLEASE MAN!!! I bet you were content on the size of regular cameras such as point and shoot. Now all of sudden the screen is to small to enjoy the pictures you take. And you are talking about a 4.5" being to small. Hard to believe some people.

I don't mind larger sized choices. I thought the galaxy note was crazy for phone but I saw a really big and tall dude with it and seemed perfect for his hands. Think outside the box people. Im 6'1" with average build. 170lbs so im not fat, I just have too big of hands for soft keyboards for the size of the iPhone. These are not just phones, they're smart phones. Ability to read and send emails easily is a must!

I've heard that the N9 camera is still one of the best cameras out there. So I'm confident that Nokia can top that with a 21mp offering...PV or not. I'm hoping also for the stereo recording tech that is in the 808 too. If it records in 1080p then I'm all over it...if only 720...then I'll wait.

FAKE!!! Nokia can't center their badging, will put it on the left which is where visual focusing starts. I am not saying these are not a good representation of what Nokia is going to release, but this isn't offical.

How much different are some of you wanting the phone to look???? I think the current lineup are gorgeous devices. I don't care if the don't change a thing with the exterior. I do like the brushed aluminum though...that's my next WP!

I love all the negative comments, and all I can say is... get a Samsung! Or an HTC! This is precisely why we have so many choices and options, and this is a good thing! There's a reason why Ford no longer makes the Model T, and why Apple continues to lose marketshare to competition... lack of choice. Clearly Microsoft and their partners are headed in the right direction. Oh yeah, I love the proposed 920 design... similar to the 900 but tweaked. Now I just hope the specs are there to match... come on PureView!

The 920 looks a lot like the Titan with a colored cover finish and the power button on the side. I love both of them if they are the real thing. Now to wait and see. Love my Titan, so looking forward to aee what HTC will have next.

LOL, and here I was desperately trying to figure if there still will be a black version. I love the looks of the 920 and hope the physical dimensions are not larger than the 900, that's kind of my limit. Looking forward to 9/5.

Bet you are. I hope you enjoy it. If they sell one now, there's a greater chance they will when I can get my next one. PureView sounds interesting, and I love the red, but it's not like I don't love my 900 other than that. Beyond that, they should be coming out with red accessories, and that still goes pretty well with my black phone.

Don't know if anyone else noticed, but there seems to be some wasted space near the bottom of the phone, below the navigational buttons. That space could house the PureView technology. It looks as though the nav buttons are riding high and the screen doesn't extend to the bottom. Thoughts?

That's exactly what I thought. In the tech world things are always changing and people associate change with better. Change is not synonymous to better. It's not always about bringing something completely different. Sometimes it's about bringing something that's refined and sometimes something that's refined can provide customers with a whole new experience.

I smell a potential lawsuit on the 820 camera bezel... Looks VERY similar to my HD7. That alone screams "fake" to me, as Nokia doesn't have a history of borrowing from competing designs. Gotta say I'm not sold on the "big screen revolution"... I tested out an 800, and even with my ham fists I was fine with the 3.7". 4.3" is about as big as I want to go but I will buy the larger phone if that's what I have to do to get Pureview and Rich Recording.

I've been using Samsung phones for yrs. I'm currently using the Focus S. I'm planning on switching to Nokia. The current Lumia line and new line keep impressing me more and more. I'll make my decision after Thanksgiving

I think these are backwards myself. The 820 looks like a newer 900 with the buttons close to the bottom and flat screen, while the 920 looks like an 800 with the buttons spaced away from the bottom a bit and rounded glass. Could be wrong of course. And these could be totally bogus too for all we know yet, but we'll see.

Am I the only one who prefers the sexy metallic/professional look of the Samsung Ativ S better? I'll likely end up buying a Nokia only for 2 reasons: 1 pureview camera, and 2, Nokia exclusive apps. Otherwise, I really like the Ativ S look. I even have a wallpaper of it on my computer

The Phi is looking good right now if it comes bundled with Pureview. Can't wait to see them when they are officially unveiled with less then a week to go! The 820 seems to be designed so much differently compared to the rest of the Lumia line up.
